Dazzling, devotional, dangerous orange guides our choices today! Beth was bamboozled by the marigolds in Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding, and Pitu saw spiritually-inspired sacrifice in Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Love—or loves plural, really—are at the center of these films, which is not unusual on this channel, of course, but these feel a little different. We also discuss some of the meanings of orange and some of our favorite orange costumes in films.

Then we discuss the film's wholly singular voice and level of representation; how it refuses simple binaries about a diverse set of cultures, and why extricating a white perspective allows the story to detail difficult realities of non-white experiences. Finally, we discuss the film's impossibly alluring romantic thread between Denzel Washington and first-time performer Sarita Choudhury and the honesty that can be revealed through the pairing of a veteran actor's craft and a non-actor's authenticity. Roxana's Top 5 Denzel Washington Performances:Honorable Mentions: The Pelican Brief, Much Ado About Nothing1.

This time, Mira Nair unleashes her penchant for a romance-set-among-a-sprawling-family-drama on the nation of India as a wedding is organized, threatened, and celebrated amidst the intensity of a rainy season that I guess is probably a metaphor for something.

Cinematographer Declan Quinn (HAMILTON, LEAVING LAS VEGAS, MONSOON WEDDING) speaks with Team Deakins on this episode of the podcast. A first generation immigrant from Ireland, Declan first reflects on his youth bouncing between America and his family's home country. We then ruminate on Declan's decision to spend part of his early career in Ireland and on the function of pubs as watering holes wherein a young filmmaker could, back when Roger and Declan were starting out at least, find a community with which to celebrate and commiserate over work and life. Later, Declan shares his experiences working with directors Mike Figgis and Neil Jordan and on the myriad of other films he helped bring to life. Towards the end, Declan describes the process of Broadway captures and how he filmed HAMILTON at the height of its popularity with its original cast. - This episode is sponsored by Fiilex Instagram: @fiilexled

Weddings are funny things, but mostly if you're not directly involved with them. They're typically big and with that bigness comes the big drama that comes with large numbers of people coming together in one place. But there's also a commonality to these events, even if the specific rituals are different. In this episode we continue our Around the World in Twenty Films series, first with a stop in India, to check out 2001's Monsoon Wedding, directed by Mira Nair. It's a comedy that nonetheless has a dark-ish storyline getting lighter toward the end, and a second, lighter story getting darker toward the end. We see many of the events leading up to an arranged marriage of two young people. Will the events of the movie affect the wedding itself? Who knows! (Well, we do. We saw the film and we're reviewing it, so.) Stay tuned for Part Two when we go to another part of India, then jump to Denmark for After the Wedding, from 2006 and directed by Susanne Bier. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wordsandmovies/support

In the second half of today's episode, we'll be reviewing The Edge of Heaven from 2007, directed by Fatih Akim. It's a film entirely about missed connections that will frustrate you, but eventually you manage to settle in and accept what happens (or doesn't). COMING ATTRACTIONS: Put on your rented tuxedo, because we're going to a couple of weddings. First, from 2001, it's Monsoon Wedding, an Indian comedy-drama directed by Mira Nair. Although it takes place in India, you'll recognize most of the drama that happens when extended families find themselves in one place.  From there we're off to Denmark and 2007's After the Wedding, a 2006 Danish-Swedish drama directed by Susanne Bier. It's a complex story about people with complex motivations, and the people affected by them.    --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wordsandmovies/support

Film critic Richard Schickel (1933-2017) in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded May 15, 2003 . Originally posted July 17, 2017. Richard Schickel, who died on February 18, 2017 at the age of 84, spent forty-five years as film critic for Time Magazine. During his lifetime he wrote 36 books, most of them about film, and produced and directed thirty-four documentaries, all about film. This interview was recorded while he was publicizing his book, ““Good Morning Mr. Zip Zip Zip: Movies, Memory and World War II.” In the book he discusses his early love of movies, and more importantly, the movies as propaganda element during World War II. The interview occurred during the height of the invasion of Iraq, and of course that element came into play. Notes on the interview: Fourteen years after this interview, a musical version of “Monsoon Wedding” directed by Mira Nair played to large crowds at Berkeley Rep and played at St. Ann's Warehouse in New York, closing June 25, 2023. Of the two films to look out for, both Veronica Guerin and Mystic River were listed in his top ten of that year While Veronica Guerin never made a mark, Mystic River was nominated for six Oscars including best picture, and won two,, best actor for Sean Penn and best supporting actor for Tim Robbins. He continued to write. Richard Schickel's final book, published in 2015, was Keepers: The Greatest Films, and Personal Favorites of a Moviegoing Lifetime. He retired from Time Magazine in 2010. His final book, Keepers: The Greatest Films, and personal favorites of a movie-going career, was published in 2015. The post Richard Schickel (1933-2017), “Good Morning Mr. Zip Zip Zip,” 2003 appeared first on KPFA.

Gulmohar, the new Disney+ Hotstar family drama, is to Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding what Kaante was to Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs—a knockoff that doesn't really understand what made the original work in the first place. Overstuffed with characters and subplots, the film wastes talented performers such as Sharmila Tagore and Manoj Bajpayee on poorly written melodrama. We discuss the film's convoluted plotting, the performances of its ensemble cast, and wonder if it would've been any better if it had stuck to the tone of its engaging opening scene. — Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

This HBO movie is a hidden gem from 2002, despite earning a pair of best supporting Emmy's for film legends Gena Rowlands and Ben Gazzara, a nomination for Juliette Lewis, and one very deserved Golden Globe for star Uma Thurman. Beautifully directed by Mira Nair (of "Monsoon Wedding"!), "Hysterical Blindness" is a heartbreaking slice of Debby Miller's life in 1980's New Jersey and her unfortunate fascination with Justin Chambers' Swayze-eyed Rick. She takes more than her fair share of comfort from her loyal to a fault best friend Beth and her mother Virginia, who may be finding love of her own with sweet old Nick Piccolo. Take a drink every time we say "Amber Autumn"--maybe if you're lucky, it'll be poured by hottie bartender Bobby...

We talk with film and television producer Bonnie Bruckheimer (“Beaches,” “Hocus Pocus,” “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood”) about her longtime collaboration with Bette Midler, gender issues within the film industry, and a few of her favorite films, including “Monsoon Wedding,” “Room,” and “Like Water for Chocolate.” http://www.thefilmosophers.com​​ #BonnieBruckheimer #filmproduction #Beaches #HocusPocus #movies [Theme music performed by Scarlet Newman-Thomas, courtesy of The Teenage Diplomat] © The Filmosophers 2021

In the season finale of her Women in Film series, host Sydney Brumfield sits down with junior Surina Belk-Gupta to talk about the beauty and sincerity of the 2001 film “Monsoon Wedding.”

It is time to close our Summer of Love with one last summer wedding with 2001’s Monsoon Wedding. It is a multi-generational family story of love and romance set at an Indian wedding. The story shows us a glimpse into the life of this family and household as they prepare for the wedding. Bringing together family members from far-flung reaches of the globe awakens the drama and ultimately brings us to our happy ending. We sidetrack into Indian weddings generally, all the beautiful wardrobe changes, and just missing weddings generally. *Trigger warning: Sexual assault, 26:00-31:30 when we discuss Ria’s storyline. * Host Annette Wierstra with Shelly Brisbin and Trisha Sarker.

Fourteen years after this interview, a musical version of “Monsoon Wedding” directed by Mira Nair played to large crowds at Berkeley Rep. Of the two films to look out for, both Veronica Guerin and Mystic River were listed in his top ten of that year While Veronica Guerin never made a mark, Mystic River was nominated for six Oscars including best picture, and won two,, best actor for Sean Penn and best supporting actor for Tim Robbins. He continued to write. His final book, published in 2015, was Keepers: The Greatest Films, and Personal Favorites of a Moviegoing Lifetime. He retired from Time Magazine in 2010. His final book, Keepers: The Greatest Films, and personal favorites of a movie-going career, was published in 2015. Excerpts from this interview aired on KPFA's Arts-Waves program.
